Jim Rogers quotes
Unfortunately politicians are not very sound people or they wouldn't be politicians.
Jim Rogers
When President Bush goes on television and says certain cultures hate us for our democracy and freedom, he's just wrong. Everywhere I went in the Middle East, everyone told me how much they loved America and Americans; the hatred is directed at American policy.

I started out with $600, a second hand Volkswagen, and a wife. One was an asset and one was a liability. I will let you figure out which was which. I liquidated both, and still had the $600. I worked long hours, and spent weekends reading about markets. I simply love it. You have to love what you do, whether it be gardening, hairdressing, etc. When you love it, then the money follows. Even if it doesn't, you will still be happy. Being happy and poor is better than being unhappy and poor.

When I was a young man working 14 hour days, I traded using outrageous and terrifying leverage. I was either very lucky, very smart or very dumb. That's what terrifies people about commodities.

Historically, there has been a bull market in commodities every 20 or 30 years.
Jim Rogers
Right now I own shares of companies in 28 countries.

The price of a commodity will never go to zero. When you invest in commodities futures, you're not buying a piece of paper that says you own an intangible piece of company that can go bankrupt.
Jim Rogers
Most of my thoughts, you couldn't print.
